Hotel berhampiran Pizzi Giummello, Agrigento

Our two-night stay at Alba Palace in Favara fit nicely into our planned tours to Valley of the Temples and Agrigento. Our accommodation with large jacuzzi was very comfortable. Rossano sent detailed instructions on how to get to the hotel. It otherwise would have been very difficult and complicated to find. The breakfast was perfectly acceptable, except that one morning they ran out of some hot items and did not replace. Unfortunately, the one dinner experience in Ristorante Le Traveggole was not particularly impressive given our high expectations. Perhaps this was due to the fact that they were entering low season, and the hotel also seemed very quiet.

We only booked this place because we needed to leave early the next day to visit some sites. We spent the day at the beach and to finish the day we decided to return to the hotel and enjoy the pool. However, our fun was cut short as the guard on duty did not allow us to stay without a shower cap. Now, I have travelled to a bunch of countries and this was a first for me (born and raised in Rio de Janeiro). I did argue with the reception, but this was a hotel rule that only exists in their mind. After, that we didn't go in the pool at all. So we paid for a hotel with a pool and we were not allowed to use it. Rooms have old and broken furniture, and breakfast is least to say average. So, no reason to stay at this dump. I DO not recommend and I will NEVER go back to this place.

Stayed with a tour group. First impressions were good-really ornate smart lobby area but sadly went downhill quite quickly. Spiral staircase not very practical for a hotel when everyone comes with luggage. Beds too soft & squeaked badly. Soundproofing wasn't anywhere near good enough for the standard of hotel. Ordered to sit at specific tables at breakfast but not told about this on check in. Some items were not being replenished very quickly at breakfast & wasn't easy to see where to find what you wanted. Hotel on a busy road in an industrial area. Lidl supermarket next door, one pizzeria down the street, another is advertised but wasn't open when we looked. Otherwise very limited facilities in the immediate area. Evening meals are served at the hotel but no pizzas and menu choices there were had higher prices than any other places we ate in Sicily so didn't bother. Dinner service doesn't open until 7.30. Shame did not get to use the pool but was glad to only be staying one night. Would not recommend.

The Euterpe B&B can be described with one word: AWESOME. It is located on Viale della Vitoria facing the sea. With a beautiful promenade (reminded us of Nice, France) in front, walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. and only a 5 minute drive to the Valley of the Temples. A perfect spot in Agrigento. We were in Room 2...a very spacious room with a private balcony to sit and sip some Prosecco or just relax. Alessia is the ”chief cook and bottle washer” at the inn. She checked us in, provided us with a host of information on Agrigento, particularly regarding the Valley of the Temples, and she prepared breakfast for the guests. She is absolutely super! This is a must-stay spot in Agrigento...great wifi, exceptionally clean rooms, very well appointed and as I said an excellent location. Check it our for yourself, and I encourage you stay at the Euterpe...you won't be disappointed.

Villa Athena has been the top hotel in Agrigento and one of the well-known luxury hotels in Sicily for decades. We could not get a reservation there on our first trip to Sicily, but this spring we were able to stay for 2 nights. The location is as amazing as pictures and website show - you can look our your window or sit in the garden with a full-on view of the Temples. Absolutely stunning. Having said that, location and view are only one part of the hotel experience. Our room (temple view) was extremely small, but very well-maintained; the bathroom was decent-sized and totally modern. Still, it was the smallest room we've had anywhere in Europe in a long time, let alone for a 5-star hotel. Since we were there before summer, breakfast and dinner were served in a totally indoor space without any view and decorated in an ultra-modern style, which left us a little cold. And while the front desk staff were very welcoming, the restaurant staff did not add much to our experience -- on the first morning, we were ignored (for ordering coffee or seeing a menu) until we called someone over and we never got a single smile from anyone. We were so surprised that I mentioned it - quietly - to the front desk person. It actually made us decide to have dinner elsewhere. On the second morning, the breakfast staff was friendlier, but I have to say that it colored our opinion of the hotel. We were happy to have finally stayed at the Villa, but if I were to return to Agrigento, I'd seek out an alternative. If the Villa advertises itself as a 5-star experience and charges accordingly, it needs to deliver. We'd be willing to stay in less luxury but with warmer, more personal service.

Emplacement très bien avec parking (EUR 15.-/jour) juste à côté. L'accueil est très bon, le petit-déjeuner est correct. L'emplacement sous la gare est proche du centre. Un peu de bruit des annonces des train. L'hôtel est moderne, mais pas chaleureux. La chambre est très petite et un système de tablette coulissante sous le lit dans toute sa largeur, donne de la place pour poser des choses certes, mais rends la chambre petite et peu pratique. La décoration est très froide. La pluie de la nuit inonde la chambre, mais ça c'est un souci d'architecture. Nous n'y avons passé que une nuit. Les draps des lits sont petits et ne se fixent pas sous le matelas, pas très agréable d'avoir un gros froissage de draps qui ne tient pas.

Wow what an amazing place to stay the staff are lovely and friendly. The rooms are something else modern merged with some history . A highly recommend this property within feet of some really great restraunts. When arriving by train exit the station turn to your left and cross the road walk a few meters up the hill where the buses go .. when you reach the park on the left to walk through the park and follow the road ahead and you will get to the accomodation a lot faster. The roads are narrow and you will pass a lot of shops and eateries its a 10 minute walk to the accomodation.

In a fairly busy piazza, this old hotel is nestled in the heart of the city, near restaurants and a short drive to the Valley of the Temples. For the money, this is a superior deal. Very good service, clean room with a terrace, and super breakfast all for €68 ! If you don’t need fancy but like tasteful understated charm, this is a very good place to stay. Parking can be a challenge but we parked on the street overnight and didn’t get ticketed. Check out was a breeze and they helped with luggage. A nice little living room fit drinks - honor system. We would stay again.

Great place! Very friendly staff and helped us when we had questions, also the facilities were excellent. Very close to the beach and not a far drive to the town of Montallegro or the bigger city of Agrigento. Rooms were clean and comfortable, breakfast was great and had many choices. Also the restaurant affiliated with Luna Minoica is delicious and a fancy treat if you want to indulge. We would definitely come back to stay here.
